Ealdorman Selwine

Ealdorman Selwine was an ealdorman of Mercia during the late 9th century. In 886, at a Witenagemot meeting in Winchester, he asked King Alfred the Great to raise the fyrds in preparation for war with the Vikings, who were raiding into Mercia, but Alfred refused, as he did not wish for his captive daughter Aethelflaed to be harmed.
